Miscellaneous Information


Various Identification Codes ...

FIPS Codes ...

In a past effort, various federal agencies created a set of codes with a purpose similar to the GNIS codes. These codes are called the Federal Information Processing Standard (or the FIPS 55 codes). Although they are still used by some organizations, the FIPS codes are obsolete and will ultimately be replaced by the GNIS codes.

The following FIPS codes apply to Montville:

Place (Community) Code:  48830
State Code:  09 (Connecticut)
County Code:  011 (New London County)

Since the Place and County FIPS codes are not unique and can be repeated in other States, it's necessary to combine the State code with the Place and County FIPS codes to uniquely identify them - for example:

State/Place Code:  09/48830
State/County Code:  09/011

Regional Codes ...

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Montville is located in Region #1 (the Northeast Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Montville is located in Division #1 (the New England Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Montville is located in Region I (Region 1).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Montville is located in Region I (Region 1).

ZIP Codes ...

While some people have used a ZIP code to identify a community, the purpose of the ZIP code was to make mail delivery more efficient by grouping addresses together. Although the ZIP Code doesn't specifically identify a community like Montville, it does identify addresses that are in (or near) Montville. It's important to remember that the boundaries of a ZIP Code are defined by the needs of the USPS and can be changed, re-assigned or overlapped with other ZIP Codes.

The ZIP code for Montville: 06353<1>
